Estimation of the lead-lag parameter from non-synchronous data

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We propose a simple continuous time model for modeling the lead-lag effect between two financial assets. A two-dimensional process (Xt,Yt) reproduces a lead-lag effect if, for some time shift varthetainmathbbR, the process (Xt,Yt+vartheta) is a semi-martingale with respect to a certain filtration. The value of the time shift vartheta is the lead-lag parameter. Depending on the underlying filtration, the standard no-arbitrage case is obtained for vartheta=0. We study the problem of estimating the unknown parameter varthetainmathbbR, given randomly sampled non-synchronous data from (Xt) and (Yt). By applying a certain contrast optimization based on a modified version of the Hayashi-Yoshida covariation estimator, we obtain a consistent estimator of the lead-lag parameter, together with an explicit rate of convergence governed by the sparsity of the sampling design.
